Help me pick a domain name! Options

[GriffGirl]

I've gotta change over the host of my site domain by the end of the month, so I was thinking that while I was at it, I'd register another domain since technically I'm no longer a corporation (my current domain was for my business, which I have since discontinued as an S corporation).

Keeping it clean, I'd love any ideas anyone has to offer, if not to actually use but even just for some inspiration... I'm hitting a brick wall here!

what do you mean doing what? Like what's the purpose of the existing site, or the new site? Or the business?

Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot to ask - should I just go with the obvious? Griffgirl.com?

IDK, what is your busniess? The hellica merch? A bigger spot to my-space? your 9-5's website? IDK what the hell you do... All i know is you put pictures on pancakes on iron presses.... ANd i'm not quite sure how you get paid for doing this...

[GriffGirl]

I'm a graphic designer. You knew that. I ran my own business for 4 years, but I got pretty burned out on being self employed and decided I'd actually rather work for The Man.

So the current site is from the business, the new domain will be for freelance work and basically whatever the hell else I decide to use it for.

BTW you completely missed the joke w/the pancakes. The pancakes were on a mammogram machine. It was just a joke!!!

I'll think about this over a bottle of liquor and get back to you tommorow.

EDIT: isn't a mammogram where the doctor fondles your boobs? You mean he puts them on a press? Sick bastards...

GriffinDesigns

[GriffGirl]

I'm getting away from the business is what I'm saying. It's griffindesignco.com right now.

[Random_Stranger]

Griffeffects.com (since GriffFx would kind of be biting off of LewFX)

Or maybe like Griffephex.com

Come on, tell me that's not totally hilarious!

I'm a guy, I had no idea what that machine was

start writing down words that come to mind when you think about the work you do, any and all words: artistic, humorus, funny, graphics, digital, desgin, griff, girl, etc then combind them, One web project I'm working on for my family is a digital photograph site where we can all upload our pictures and a few words with them, kinda like photobucket but much simpler and family only... anyway, to come up with the name I just wrote down crap I though about and then put stuff toegether, ended up with digitalbin (then googled to make sure it was not in use ) also I would use your name in there somewere since your doing it as a side deal not a whole company, its more personal with a name involved IMO. also aim the name to how the site looks, if you have a more reformed (sp) classical site dont have a comedic name, if the site is suppose to be funny and humours dont have too a seroius a name.

Infinite-Imagination "Graphic designer studio"

Lunar-Studio's

Imagination-Creation

INTRIGUE (studio's)

Griff's Graphics

Inspiration-Creation

Inspiration-Imagination

Anything with pretty words; don't make it sound like a fcuking machine shop "Griffindesignco"
Slap words that inspire imagination; and make people feel a sens of "Artsy"

Remember; your customer's are sheep. And you want them to pay you; so you have to heard them. They lack ability; and want to feel like they are providing their imagination; utilizing your abilities as a medium for creating a graphic. Therefore you want to make them feel smart about the only thing they are providing. And having a name that inspires, Makes them feel that way. Therefore; they feel that your company is superior to other "Machine shop" places. Your sheep customers want an artist; so draw your words beautify.

EDIT: i know you already know all of this; i'm not teaching you anything new. But rather i'm reminding you; so remember to keep this in mind as you make your final selection.

Now, for a living i give advice and remind people things; You're invoice total comes to $1 BILLION dollars

(but it SAYS mammogram right on the CD!!!)


Anyway, some really good ideas there... still though, trying to get AWAY from the business, but yeah design-related okay.. the intent of the site is kind of a "catch-all" for me; self-promotion, having somewhere to host all those wacky images i post up here, having somewhere to host those Celica manuals, blogging, etc.

Why would you put your boobies into a big press like that... Boobies shouldnt be smashed flat... the should be full and bouncy... And they should... Family orientated, right. n/m

But for real, don't smash em (My gal is never going to that doctor again)

Why dont you call it : Griffen's Big Ass Online Closet?
